Crash Film Review

Question: Discuss about theCrashfor Film Review. Answer: Introduction The movie is set up in America which is a multicultural society due to immigration. However, the society has several cultural minorities as well as dominant cultures. The cultural minorities identified in the movie include Caucasian, Asian, Latino, Persian, and Porto Rican (Cheadle and Haggis, 2004). Racial bias was depicted in the film on several occasions. The first instance if racial bias in the movie occurred after the accident that involved Graham Water the L.A Detective, his partner Ria, and Kim Lee. After the crash, they engaged in racial insults that included stereotyping the Asians claiming that they cannot drive. The second instance was when a father and his daughter were in a shop speaking in the Persian language. The white shop attendant started making racist comments towards them. The third occurrence of the racial bias when two black men who flashed guns towards Rick Cabot and his wife Jean demanding for the car (Cheadle and Haggis, 2004). The scene shows how black people are viewed as criminals by the media. Health care practitioners play essential roles in the promotion of same health care delivery. One of the critical skills the practitioner must have is the ability to identify discrimination as well as their risks users (Mayberry et al., 2006). Also, the practitioner must be able to determine and respond to the various needs of the diverse patient and caregivers. Also, the health care practitioner must ensure that the different services represent diversity and good equality. Moreover, the RN need to make sure that the patients can contribute towards their care and improve their health by supporting and empowering the patients, carers, and service users (Mayberry et al., 2006). Majority of people believe that only the white people are competent in the healthcare industry. This is seen in the hospital scene where Ryan tells Shaniqua, the HMO supervisor that she is not qualified for the job and he can think of other white people that qualify for her job (Cheadle and Haggis, 2004). Moreover, it is widely believed that only men can perform better as doctors. However, Dorri who is a doctor proves otherwise as she does her job just like any other man can do. Other health disparities present in the clip include age, location, and social economic status. Healthcare is a critical service in the community and should be delivered to all the people without discrimination. Therefore, it is essential that some approaches are used to ensure that the ethnocentricity of multicultural bias is eliminated in the healthcare practice. The first method involves the removal of obstacles to social inclusion (Boyce Holmes, 2012). The elimination of discrimination of people because of their color, sex, and race will help in the strengthening of an inclusive society. The second approach involves the use of comprehensive policy frameworks (Boyce Holmes, 2012). Such systems ensure that public institutions such as hospitals and schools provide equitable services to the citizens as required by the law. The third approach is the focus on the cost and benefits of social inclusion (Clancy et al., 2014). The inclusion of the society will help prevent adverse effects such as increased crime rates, brain drain, and instability among others. References Boyce, T. Holmes, A. (2012).
